| MOLD on compact discs If it is superficial then just wash them - water and soap - as suggested above.If the metal film is rotten in places (underneath the plastic sandwich) then there is nothing that can be done - copy the CD before it gets any worse (youu lose more tr... | |
| Help wanted. My NHT M00-S00s are whistlingI 3. Yes, a ground loop will develop if the cable or cable TV box are connected to your receiver/preamp/amplifier or computer, however, cable TV ground loop generates hum, not whine. Exactly my thought - I think we have a capacitor or other compone... | |
| Woofing "Q" Can you adjust the damping of a box,either sub or sat, acoustically by putting a 'brick' in the box or a 'sock' on the port?You can but it may change the freq response in an undesirable way even if it improves the transient response (group delay).... | |
| Woofing "Q" If the Q of your sub is a lot higher than your speakers then you will lose detail in the bass and lower mids and the sound will not be as clean and tight.Sealed subs are really the only way to go if you seek quality rather than an HT sound - but t... | |
| Help wanted. My NHT M00-S00s are whistlingI It seems to be the sub - have you tried the speakers without the sub. | |
| Spendor ST vs. B&W 803d vs. PMC PB1i ??? I would add that I made a mistake above - the Xmax of the Vifa driver appears to be a mere 1 mm not 3 mm. This performance is similar to most small dome tweeters that have a similar magnet size ...so you get the idea or why I would be concerned ab... | |
| Spendor ST vs. B&W 803d vs. PMC PB1i ??? Just a word of caution - you are looking at a fairly big investment in the PMC PB1i - I would check carefully the mid range driver. Just what is it???If it is VIFA D75MX-41-08 3" dome which it sure looks like it is! Then my advice would to be get ... | |
| Looking for New Speakers - Suggestions Budget is $2k for me so nowhere near Marten Design or Dunlavy. I really have never found a home speaker that was dynamic and exciting but could also quiet down and let me enjoy some old jazz vinyl I picked up from my father. Well at $2K budget yo... | |
| Normal Practice To Use 6 1/2" Sub With 8" Speaker? Computer programs that accurately model the bass response of loudspeakers do not use cone diameter for anything other than calculating maximum SPL. Exactly - that is where large woofers or several large woofers become important. And at low freque... | |
| Looking for New Speakers - Suggestions Look into PMC and ATC speakers. Both brands are capable of high volume and low distortion, but also sound good at lower volumes. Indeed - if you are looking for dynamics and an adrenaline rush but with audiophile sound quality (rather than PA spe... | |
| Normal Practice To Use 6 1/2" Sub With 8" Speaker? Large drivers do not dictate the quality of bass you hear in either 2 channel or home theatre Perhaps not but they sure determine the quantity of good quality bass. Only large drivers (several of them) will get you up into the 110 db SPL at 20 Hz... | |
| Anthem AVM20 remote control buzzing You could invesigate if Harmony can be programmed for this device but it will probaly cost you close to what the Anthem remote does. | |
| What effect will removing a whizzer cone have? I have seen some paper (AES) that had shown the 'wizzer' is useless and does not actually do anything.I would have to agree the wizzer is an archaic BS device, and cutting it off would be a blessing. LOL - try telling that to Zu Audio that use a ... | |
| ATC owners present and former I suspect that people either love ATC or hate them although most people have probably not heard them (it is extremely rare to walk into a hi-end store and see a pair of SCM100's (lets face it - they are old school ugly box speakers). Also ATC do n... | |
| Gallo Reference III midrange COOKED I blew three of four mid drivers from using my 3.1s for karaoke. That would do it - live music (someone singing into a mike) has HUGE dynamic range and clearly this speaker is not designed to handle that. You need either pro studio gear or a heav... |
